I totally had overlooked that. Wow, that changes the playing field a little. Feel kind of stupid now.

Re: Question about Luck advantage: Do you re-roll all three dice?
Same interpretation here. If you roll two 1's and a 6, you can't keep the ones and just reroll the 6.

Re: Question about Luck advantage: Do you re-roll all three dice?
Though I understand the Luck advantage as everyone else is describing here, when this thread came up, I was thinking what an advantage that let you roll some number of individual dice would look like. I might do a Monte Carlo type simulation and see what happens with the probabilities.

It's not an at all unreasonable idea. It's just more powerful than what the designer originally envisioned Luck as doing, and therefore it needs to cost more. |

1, 6, 6 rerolling the two 6's (once each) would cost 2 of your 3 rerolls. I don't know who'd want that but I'd allow something like that for like 5 pts |

Re: Question about Luck advantage: Do you re-roll all three dice?
Maybe... how would you do it? Like I said- I can't imagine anybody wanting that, but since it's a smaller form of an existing advantage if somebody did want it I'd allow it.

Odds are good you have at least one average and one low value (in this case a high number for a to hit roll say) so rolling that one bad die has a better chance of benefit.
